Originally a barrel-vaulted barge house linked directly to the Thames, the Embankment Galleries are now a modern and adaptable events space. Spread over the ground floor and mezzanine level of the South Wing, this network of rooms have been reinvented to host Somerset House’s most celebrated exhibitions.
The Embankment Galleries are an exclusive space, rarely available for private hire. The mezzanine level is most impressive for large scale dinners and receptions, while the entire gallery offers a spectacular setting for press days and conferences.
Dramatic steel and glass feature staircases, hardstone flooring and bright feature walls introduce a contemporary and urban element to this historic venue. Offering the flexibility of a blank canvas space, the Embankment Galleries can be readily transformed and are also the perfect backdrop for catwalk shows and fashion presentations.
